[...aka Las Cortinas]

Red hot weather in Manchester and the football season is about to start, this weekend has potential!

Absolutely. Well, at least until tomorrow when the hangover has set in. Then the sun can feck right off.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Not sure why some would be nervous. Similar to last time we played Spurs. Think we're going to walk all over them.

 

[stretford_oslo]

En route to the pub let's goooo vamooooooo

 

[unchanged_lineup]

Yeesh, back into the maelstrom of match day threads. On one side, don't want to get sucked in; on the other, can't not look...

Cmon lineups!

 

[Jerch]

Absolutely. Well, at least until tomorrow when the hangover has set in and then the sun can feck right off.

Yeah it's always hard when you have to be wasted everyday so you can foget that you have no mates.

 

[...aka Las Cortinas]

Not sure why some would be nervous. Similar to last time we played Spurs. Think we're going to walk all over them.

Yeah, but then again you thought having Di Maria's name as a username was a good idea, so I wouldn't read too much into that.

 

[vidic blood & sand]

Gone for 3:1 to us. Only concern is whoever's in goal, I hope they don't have a nervous game.
Probably be a cautious start, and we'll get more and more confident through the first half. Last year Spurs struggled when we overloaded the left side. Blind and Young tormented them.
Think the same will happen today. Our triangle passing on the wings will drive them nuts.

------------------Johnston---------------------

Darmian------Smalling------Blind------Shaw

------------Herrera----Scneiderlin-----------

Mata------------------------------------Young

-----------------Depay------------------------

----------------Rooney------------------------

That's probably how we'll line up. Not sure which keeper will start, but if VG had Romero in mind, I'm sure we would have seen him on the tour against PSG.
Herrera will have liscence to support the front men, and the full backs will look to get forward every opportunity. Still think we'll get an Ashley young upgrade before the window closes. Probably Pedro.

 

[Someone]

I'm excited as feck, finally football is back!

 

[Agila Dathi]

It's been a looooong summer, finally we're getting football back

 

[Scorpy]

can't fecking wait

 

[ChaddyP]

Wonder how many "" will change into "" after line up pops up.

I'm definitely on the optimist side of life. Glass half full and all that. Just happy to have real football back again so I will be happy with whoever the manager chooses.


With that said I expect a few angry thread titles popping up in about five minutes

 

[JinnerJamie]

This looks like line up, quite a few going with it...

 

[Trizy]

I'm confident we're the better team by a distance but known us we'll make it hard for ourselves and a draw is not out of the question. Although I'm gonna take that confidence and predict 2-0 United.

 

[Dazzmondo]

First team news of the season coming in less than 5 minutes! So excited!

 

[Pexbo]

Forgot about this feeling. It's been too long.

 

[ChaddyP]

This looks like line up, quite a few going with it...

If that's it then 11/11 for me

 

[...aka Las Cortinas]

Yeah it's always hard when you have to be wasted everyday so you can foget that you have no mates.

I know. Every now and then in the pub I get to talk to the guy in the next urinal to me though and the barmaid will sometimes make small talk, so it's not all bad.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Who the feck is Tinchy Stryder.

 

[Kevin]

Herrera to be a bit part player again

 

[Jacob]

Need one or two shocks in the lineup for normal business to resume.

 

[MDFC Manager]

First team news of the season coming in less than 5 minutes! So excited!

I've been page refreshing like crazy

 

[JinnerJamie]

If that's it then 11/11 for me

10/11 I went with Johnstone...

 

[Zoo]

 

[togg]

I think we are a better team...but this is football, anything can happen. Yep...certainly very nervous about this one. The first game always kind of sets the tone...and I so want it to be positive this season...

 

[thegregster]

 

[Mali_Zeus]

10/11.

 

[The Law of Denis]

Only missed Romero for Johnstone

FFS

Sack LvG
Sell Rooney

 

[Jacob]

If that's it then 11/11 for me

Wouldn't be so proud. Every position bar the GK was given.

 

[crimsonife]

So Blind at CB it is then...

 

[RedSky]

Waiting for the official news...

 

[Donut]

As expected, except for Smalling for Jones.

Blind experiment, no Herrera, Depay as a 10... Oh LVG

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

9/11

 

[thegregster]

Spurs going 352?

Three Cb in that lineup

 

[2 man midfield]

9/11 ffs

 

[Mali_Zeus]

Harsh on Herrera.

 

[podurban2]

God damn it Ladyman, had Romero but changed it.. 10/11, now looking forward to see Jones, Herrera, and Pereira off the bench!

 

[Raoul]

Romero starts.

 

[Callum93]

Feck sake, a Phil Jones away from 11/11!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

I put Johnstone in, but gained by putting Smalling in. Not sure if I fiddled with my team even more though.
